About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

These works are being completed as part of the Tasmanian Government’s Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).

FCUP supports the productivity of freight vehicles by improving the roads and bridges they travel on day to day. Repairing and strengthening these sections of road will:

  • improve freight productivity
  • improve efficiency and network reliability
  • improve road safety for all road users
  • reduce maintenance costs.
